4 Reasons to Sell During the Holidays

Welcome back! The holidays are here and that always brings the question whether now is a good time to sell or not. There’s a big misconception that the winter months aren’t a good time to list your home, but that simply isn’t true.

There are actually four great reasons why you SHOULD list your home.

1. There’s lower inventory - Because so many people believe the misconception that now is the wrong time to sell, it means there is less competition for you.
2. Buyers are more serious - The buyers that are looking during the holidays are have-to-buy buyers. We find most people who are relocating for jobs look during the holidays.
3. Homes look great - Who doesn’t love holiday lights and decorations? The buyer often can become emotional when seeing homes like this.
4. We can arrange timing - You may be worried that you’ll have to move right during the holidays, but we can arrange the timing and the closing to fit your needs.

These are four great reasons why you should list your home now. So give me a call and we can get started marketing!

Now is the Time to Buy and Sell

How much inventory is out there for buyers in the market

Our market is experiencing incredibly low inventory right now, especially compared to this time last year. What’s interesting, though, is our market is also expanding. This means homes are selling quickly as more and more properties are coming on the market.

Now is the ideal time to list your home. Not only will your property sell quickly, but for a great price as well. Most homes are getting multiple offers and homes are selling for list price or above!

Because of low interest rates, there is a pent up demand. Buyers want to lock in the lowest rate possible so they can pay thousands of dollars less on the life of the loan.

How are interest rates affecting the market?

Welcome back to my video blog!

How are interest rates affecting the market?

As the economy improves, interest rates begin to increase as well. While in the past couple of months they have increased, they are still historically low.

I remember in 1987 when I bought my home I was excited about the 13 percent interest rate I locked in! Can you believe that?

Now is the perfect time for both buyers and sellers. We expect interest rates to stay relatively low throughout the next year. So, take advantage!

Increasing Home Prices

Welcome back to my video blog. As many of you may have noticed, home prices have been on the rise. How long will this last?

That’s a good question. First, it’s important to know why it’s happening. Currently we have an unbalanced market. The demand for homes outweighs the supply. This is especially true in popular neighborhoods.

It isn’t uncommon for some homes to receive up to 20 offers. When multiple offers are received on a property, the price gets bid up.

We can expect prices to drop once more homes come on the market, but we aren’t sure when that will be.
